2005 HONDA PILOT Complaints

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, HIT A SMALL STANCHION WITH MY REAR BUMPER. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE TO PULL FORWARD AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES, THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE, ONLY STOPPING WHEN I CRASHED INTO A PARKED CAR. *JB

I FILED A COMPLAINT ONE YEAR AGO AND NEVER RECEIVED ANY KIND OF RESPONSE. IT IS ODI ID NUMBER 10122170. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN OVER 55 MPH WITH THE REAR WINDOWS OPEN, THERE IS A THUMPING NOISE THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSES DISCOMFORT TO THE OCCUPANT'S EARS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN SEEN BY A MECHANIC. UPDATED 07/03/06. *JB THE LEATHER SEATS WERE CRACKING.

ON TWO SEPERATE OCCASSIONS MY 2005 HONDA PILOT WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE HAS "LIGHTLY" CONTACTED THE EDGE OF THE GARAGE. EACH TIME THE INTERNAL MOUNTING MECHANISM HAS FAILED TO WITHSTAND THE IMPACT. THE LOW SPEED AT WHICH THE CAR WAS TRAVELING DID NOT EVEN IMPACT THE WALL HARD ENOUGH TO FORCE THE MIRROR TO FOLD IN OR THE GLASS TO BREAK, CHIP OR CRACK. *NM

MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE A FRONT END SHIMMY AT 70 TO 75 MILES PER HOUR. THE DEALER HAS BALANCED AND ROTATED MY TIRES NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. A HIGH SPEED BALANCE BY AN INDEPENDENT DEALER HAS IMPROVED THE SHIMMY BUT IT IS STILL ANNOYING. *NM

DT : CONTACT STATED ON OCTOBER 8, 2005 THE VEHICLE STARTED BY ITSELF. HE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON OCTOBER 17, 2005. THERE WAS NO FOREWARNING AND NO NOISE. THERE WAS NO REMOTE STARTER ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN THE DAYTIME IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NUMBERS WERE GREY COLORED AGAINST A DARKER GREY BACKGROUND. AT NIGHT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS VERY EASILY SEEN BECAUSE OF THE LIGHTING. THE CONTACT CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER, AND THEY STATED THAT THE LEATHER OVERHANG COULD OBSTRUCTED THE VIEW OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BECAUSE IT CAUSED A LARGE SHADOW OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THIS WAS THE DESIGN WITHIN THE VEHICLE, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT THE CONTACT MAY CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WAS AN AFTER MARKET INSTRUMENT PANEL AVAILABLE FOR THIS SPECIFIC TYPE OF VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET SHE FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO OTHER TYPE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *AK

2005 HONDA PILOT DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OF 70 MPH.*** NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TOT HE DEALER TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER'S TECHNICIAN BALANCE THE WHEELS BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME THE TECHNICIAN ROTATED AND BALANCED THE WHEELS BUT THE CONSUMER COULD STILL FEEL THE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. *NM

DT: WHILE DRIVING,45 MPH, THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED 2 TIRE BLOW OUTS WITHOUT WARNING. THE POLICE CAME AND TOLD HIM HE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST AUTO BODY. THE DEALER STATED THEY WOULD NOT HAVE IT TOWED THEIR ESTABLISHMENT AND HE WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER SAID THEY COULDN'T TOW IT TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED BUT THEY WOULD HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER. THE CONSUMER DID NOT WANT TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. IN ORDER TO GO TO THE DEALER OF PURCHASE, THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT HIMSELF. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AT 70 MPH. *JB
